Just look under the bonnet - check the plate. The RS did come out in n/a form but I'd give it a miss - all the disadvantage of a big heavy car with only a 2L non turbo engine - if you're on a budget you would be better off with the Avenir and save up for a 2.5L RS4T.

There was a mint low km (80,000) RS4T in Manukau City just now for $6500 - you might get an OK reposessed one for about $4k to $5k if you look around. Give me a phone in Auckland if you like (09) 838 8602

I'm pretty sure you could only get the 4wd with either the RB25DE or the RB25DET. AFAIK the RB20DE was only offered in the 2WD

Just look under the bonnet for front driveshafts - but if you see an RB20 dont bother.

This looks like the best buy on Trade Me at the moment - good Km looks good in photos - haven't checked it out because I already have one:

Would be a good buy at $5k to $6k

i drove it...before he put up the pics of the engine. Was probably the slowest car ive ever driven, was super tidy though.

But no thanks! kiwirs4t know of any cheap rs4s? maybe i needa save more, i have 4k so far, drove an avenir gt, it hauled ass! but stagea was heaps more cumfy

Go for a ride in the one I posted above (in Manukau city) to see if you like it...he might go down to $5k. It won't be lightning fast but for no cost you can reroute the hoses to get a bit more boost and a bigger exhaust and gutted cat etc will make it quite zippy. You sometimes see repossessed ones being auctioned and they go for less but the Manukau City Car looks mint and i sometimes regret that mine is not as original as i would have liked.

I posted some information I got from my HyperRev magazines in a thread, here's a link: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...t&p=4120145

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
